Whilst absolutely true for the short term, the ‘lifetime’ emissions of a EV can be up to 70% lower than petrol cars in countries with renewable electricity, or 30% lower in the UK now with its mixed power generation.

Yes, if everyone switched to a EV today, the environmental impact would be immense due to manufacturing. But if they switched to it after their current ICE vehicle usable life has expired, longterm it would be better for the environment.

They’re not specifically targeting their protests to inconvenience the influencers, politicians or industries supporting the licensing of Big Oil. The majority targets making a large spectacle, with a significant amounts of criminal damage - something to become news-worthy.

Not once have I seen them promote alternative policy changes for oil & gas use. They’re also not promoting projects dealing with climate change.

They’re certainly getting exposure, but they’re not winning the public vote. I agree with their cause, but I despise their methods.

Podman ftw!

Never knew it was illegal in the UK. Didn’t surprise me though to learn it was Margaret Thatcher who outlawed it again in the 80s.

Why benefit society when you can just fuck it over whilst profiting from short term gains.

God I hate how this planet functions. Tax the fucking rich already.

Agree with her views on algorithm transparency, however abolishing anonymous accounts won’t improve the situation around misinformation.

Facebook has required your real name for a long time, and it still resorted into people dissecting into echo chambers supporting their views points.

Yes, anonymous accounts allow people to hide behind a mask, but a lot of people spreading misinformation aren’t afraid of being humiliated or ridiculed. It even helps spread it faster (celebrities, influencers, etc) in a lot of situations.

Even if they were blocking posts, it’ll be because FB purposely wrapped them to look like an Ad

Everytime I listen to “Status Report”, I start grinning like a cheshire cat.

At least they have physical buttons below the screen for media, hazards and heated windscreens & seats, plus all the steering wheel controls.

Much like naming a company “X”

Considering they dismantled every control they had to prevent disinformation, and it was already a cesspool to begin with… Why are people still using Twitter?

Sounds like the DNS TTL (Time to Live) is set extremely low, preventing clients caching the record. Each time your browser makes a request (such as updating the graphs), it’s submitting a new DNS query each time.

According to this post, this is intentional behaviour for PiHole to support situations where you change a domain from the block to allowed. The same post also references the necessary file modifications, should you wish to extend the TTL regardless.

The only downside you’ll notice is a delay after whitlisting a domain, and it actually being unblocked. You’ll need to wait for the TTL to expire. Setting it to something like 15 minutes would be a reasonable compromise.

Forgot she even existed.

I can never get enough Lower Decks. This episode was unhinged, in the best possible ways.

“I will always love you…”

Literal stalkers. Fucking creepy.

Personally felt it was the right thing, and earned some respect back from me. They need to address Madison’s accusations separately (which are damning), but they certainly had positive movement with the points raised by the community / GN.

Each of the department heads outlined their shortcomings and how they were being addressed. It felt genuine and sincere, and certainly not the generic bullshit you usually get from a corporate PR team on damage control. I hope they follow through enacting those plans, and it has a positive impact to both their quality and working environments.

The only bit I hated was Linus’ section (and this is meant to be a criticism, not a personal attack).

He opened up with a joke that Luke will have a lot to do curbing his (Linus) own behaviour, had a brief moment of sincerity, but went back to immediately defending himself and their actions. He didn’t fully acknowledge what his “emotional” response actually did, nor a personal response/apology to both GN/Billet Labs for it. There was no real acknowledgment he will address his own shortcomings. It honestly felt like someone who acknowledges he’s wrong (purely based on number of internal members telling him he’s in the wrong), but doesn’t agree nor accept it.

As much as I’d like to see another attempt… Good on the FAA.

That launch was dangerous. Huge chunks of concrete were projected up to 6.5 miles away from the launch site.

They either significantly miscalculated the expected damage to the launch pad, or knew and did it anyway. Both are pretty bad.

During the UK lockdowns, I tipped all the front line workers where I could. That’s it.

I’m not tipping someone as compensation for doing their job, that’s what their employer is for.

“But it’ll make us lots of money…”
